gcc and glibc

["Bill Cunningham" <billcun@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

   I want to compile a new gcc and glibc. Glibc and how to switch it over 
to be the main library is complicated enough to me and OT so I will not 
mention that.

   As far as gcc goes  I want to upgrade from the 3.x.x series to 4.6.0. 
How can I create a working compile that uses the least amount of glibc as 
possible. Maybe it is a cross compiler I am looking for. I want to upgrade 
my whole system. The reason I am not just getting a newer version of linux 
is that the newer flavors are not to my liking. Any suggestions?
